Doc Text:
A flaw was found in GitPython. A remote attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the Repo.clone_from() method by providing a specially crafted Git repository URL. This URL can contain references to environment variables, which are then expanded and included in the URL. This allows the attacker to exfiltrate sensitive environment variables, such as access keys or tokens, to an attacker-controlled server during the cloning process, leading to information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-01 13:03:44 UTC
GitPython before 3.1.52 is vulnerable to environment-variable exfiltration in Repo.clone_from(). The caller-supplied remote URL is passed through Git.polish_url(), which on non-Cygwin platforms calls os.path.expandvars() on the URL before invoking git clone. An attacker who controls the clone URL can embed $NAME or ${NAME} tokens that are expanded to the values of the hosting process's environment variables (e.g., AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or GITHUB_TOKEN). The resulting URL, now containing the secret, is transmitted over the network to an attacker-controlled host during the clone attempt, disclosing the secret.
